Quote: I know my DH like I know the back of my hand. He would not listen to it either so it would just be an exercise in futility.
Hey, I did not make an effort, till I figured out she was leaving for sure. Then I got all motivated, albiet too late.
Quote: Like I have said before, we used to have a fantastic sex life and I would like to have a small portion of that back!
As an HD, maybe you are conveying an all or nothing feeling to him.
How is his family about hugging, and touching. I was never one for the touchey feele stuff either. And with my T-ron lower, I am even less inclined. In fact I don't relish dating, cause they expect lots of touchy feelee stuff, and I don't feel like giving it.
Do you know how long it takes to develope a habit, 6 weeks, so any thing to become normal to him will take that long.
Perhaps like the sex people do, they have you relearn what each other likes, and it starts with just touching on a daily basis. And can take up to 6 weeks before ML.
As far a couselor, unless they are SBT, you are wasting your time. If it just related to this problem, join a support group, and you will find out you are not alone.
Quote: am aware of that also. The problem is we have teenagers in the house.... He did tell me that there are plenty of times he has the desire and feels "up to it" (no pun intended) but that the kids/company is always there.
So is every other parent in the world, find quiet ways. Or pay the kids off, or sound proof you room. Sounds like a excuse. Do you think it matter when you guys first started.
